Sclerosis of the spinal cord.
The amplification of fibrous tissue within the bone marrow, also referred to as myelofibrosis, hampers the marrow’s capacity to generate blood cells. Myelosclerosis can manifest as primary (without an apparent cause) or secondary (stemming from another bone marrow disorder).
The primary symptoms of myelosclerosis mirror those of anemia. Additionally, splenic enlargement, night sweats, diminished appetite, and weight loss are frequently experienced. In cases of secondary myelosclerosis, the underlying ailment may trigger additional symptoms.
Managing primary myelosclerosis involves administering blood transfusions to alleviate the associated symptoms. Nonetheless, in some instances, acute leukemia might develop. The approach to treating secondary myelosclerosis is contingent upon addressing the root cause of the condition.
